Renny Doyle Takes a Deep Dive into P&S Defender SiO2 Protectant

[@NipkowDisk]

I really like using Defender during the winter months on my vehicle in lieu of Bead Maker, simply because I don't wash it as often when it's colder outside. Fantastic results! One time several months ago, I paid a visit to my old office where I retired from and I had recently winter-prepped my 2017 Accord EX-L V-6/6MT using Defender. My former boss saw my car, and asked if I had purchased a new vehicle because the finish was so outstanding. I told her it was the same one I had before... one other person asked a not-too-dissimilar question as well. Great stuff.

Awesome!

If I buy the gallon size, what's the recommended dilution ratio for the defender as a regular drying aid? I didn't see it on the bottle itself, but maybe I missed it.

[@VassRulez]

Hi Renny, what are your thoughts using defender as a spray a rinse product like Gyeon Wetcoat? Any testing or expectations regarding its usage in this method. It’s obvious to expect a reduction in durability but still seems like a convenient way to quickly coat wheels.

[@brandonhuggins1736]

Seems like a soak just makes product run off. Wouldn’t dwell time ultimately be the larger factor?

[@jethrojeff]

Does Defender also include UV protection?

[@handydanny3859]

Smells amazing

Grapefruit!

Can this be used on Interiors?

[@babybap2276]

Will you use this in chrome?

[@charliefrago1380]

use on tires? that's new. How does it work with, replace etc with BeadMaker?

[@rennydoyle]

Yeah, on cars that just want a clean non-dressed finish, it will just leave the tire with an even natural look. Beadmaker is good (2-3 months). Defender is Better (3-6 months +). Legend Ceramic Coating is Best (3-5 years). You can use Beadmaker as a drying aid on a car that is already coated with Defender.

Help me understand the “Double Black” label?

[@rennydoyle]

Double Black is a specialty sub-brand under the P&S Brand.

[@handydanny3859]

My business uses it on headlights after a restoration amongst a few other applications

[@rennydoyle]

Using a headlight coating, such as P&S Lucid will last much longer for your clients.
